Want to live in a treehouse?

In 2007 eco-architect Mitchell Joachim and other collaborating designers, came together and and created a technologically possible living tree house. These buildings would be created with living trees using ficus moldings and frame structures. Of course these tree houses are a bit more complex that what we are used to, but the idea is possible, sustainable, and very interesting. Sadly one of the main problems with getting these made is passing by a planning committee. Of course the trees at some point will pass height restrictions, and they would be seen as an insurance liability. To get a better understanding, you can see Mitchell Joachim explain the process himself in the video.
